Fedcon – TNG Cast Panel

  See our other Fedcon posts The Highlight of the Fedcon weekend for us and many others was The Next Generation talk with LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Marina Sirtis, Gates McFadden, Colm Meaney, Denise Crosby and John de Lancie. TNG talk Fedcon We're fortunate enough to have seen them together a few times now but it's always a treat. The report between them is legendary. They are friends who enjoy each others company and make each other laugh. That friendship and humour is passed on to the audience and the result is an electric atmosphere and memorable panel. We're not sure if someone had snuck a Horga'hn into LeVar's luggage or something but he had sex on the brain during that panel! https://twitter.com/TrekkieGirls/status/871415489590898688 The next question was from an actress in the audience who asked how they overcame nerves before going on stage. LeVar's response was "I find a good wank helps!" - seriously!! … Continue Reading ››

Fedcon Day 3

  See our other Fedcon Posts Our day started by returning to our hotel at 4am for a brief sleep before finding ourselves oddly still alive when we awoke a few hours later! Gates McFadden Fedcon We ran to the Chase Masterson talk only to find she was in the small hall and it was full! We were denied! After Star Trek talks there was only one other thing we could think of; food and drink. We needed it like a Jem'Hadar needs Ketral White! We went to the hotel buffett and here's something a bit odd about Fedcon, you need tokens to buy food!? So we went to buy tokens, but they didn't accept credit cards. So we went to the ATM machine. And you know what? It was out of order! We walked bloody miles (actually 500 metres but with a hangover - that's an eternity!) to get cash. We found … Continue Reading ››

Fedcon Day 2 Overview – Pt2

See all our Fedcon Posts Highlights from Day 2 continued.
Colm Meaney
Colm was the final guest to take to the stage on day 2 of Fedcon. Here are our top highlights from his talk: Colm Meaney Fedcon https://twitter.com/TrekkieGirls/status/871055524112060417 https://twitter.com/TrekkieGirls/status/871057303906209792 https://twitter.com/TrekkieGirls/status/871058978977058816 https://twitter.com/TrekkieGirls/status/871061118986452992 https://twitter.com/TrekkieGirls/status/871066266076925954 The highlight of Colm's talk (possibly weekend) was when he sang Minstrel Boy from TNG The Wounded:
The Evening
There aren't themed parties as such at Fedcon like there are at Star Trek Las Vegas or Destination Star Trek but that's because it's one long party! They have a pop up 'Romulan pub' bar. A dancefloor and a DJ adjacent to the Klingon Bar (our favourite). Don't worry, the dance floor served as a neutral zone between the respective Klingon and Romulan Bars! When the panels finished we felt it was a good time to sample the local Romulan Ale. All conventions have their own style and we're sure shares in Blue Curaçao rise whenever thousands … Continue Reading ››

Fedcon – Opening Ceremony and Marina Sirtis Talk

Marina Sirtis

The first talk we attended was Fedcon's most favourite guest (as voted for by last years patrons) Marina Sirtis. 

Marina can always deliver an entertaining talk and the audience hangs on to her every word. It didn't take long for her to get into politics!  

Deanna Troi and Marina Sirtis is our favourite Juxtaposition. They are probably the most diametrically opposed personalities between an actor and her character. And we love them both!

We were there to bombard our twitter followers with every detail of our experience. Check out our top live tweets from the talk:

Marina also told Fedcon a hilarious story about how her temper got her onto the the TSA's flight watch list!

Opening Ceremony

The opening ceremony was like most opening ceremonies at events, late to start but a great opportunity to see all the guests in one place. It also kick starts a … Continue Reading ››
